TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Magma's grills are designed for use with small disposable propane canisters or with pre-regulated low-
pressure propane and optional low-pressure valves. Running high-pressure propane fuel supply lines on a
boat is in violation of American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) guidelines and is not considered a safe
application. Additionally, impurities found in larger refillable propane tanks may clog the small orifices in the
high-pressure control valve/ regulator causing it to lose performance capabilities and eventually fail.
Regulating these tanks to 1/2 PSI and using this pre-regulated propane with the correct low-pressure valve
will ensure safe, efficient performance of the grill.
IMPORTANT!! • DO NOT CONNECT A HIGH-PRESSURE SUPPLY HOSE
FROM A NON-REGULATED TANK DIRECTLY TO GRILL.
